[INDOLOGY] Bodhisatta vs. the Big Stick

[Herman Tull]

Dear Charles,

I showed the film in the intro Buddhism class I teach at Lafayette College
(Easton, PA, USA).  It was a big hit...generating a wonderful discussion
that ranged from ideas about Buddhist texts to Aristotle and Galileo (we
made the comparison of the "science" behind the dropping of two balls of
uneven weight to the heavy/light side of the stick).

Thanks for the heads up on the film. It was a terrific addition to my class
(and the perfect length for a college class...leaving us sufficient time
for discussion).

For those considering using the film, know also that it is visually quite
stunning.
